Dressed in her wedding gown, Lyra waits for her prince. A fake treason decree ruins everything. Tricked by her fiancé and her own family for the returned false‑blood heiress, she and all the women of her house are locked in prison. Choosing death over slave branding, they perish. As a ghost, Lyra watches her loved ones drown in endless, far‑too‑late regret when the cruel truth finally comes out.
